It is the truth that sickness visits the yards of 

 the beginner more frequently than it does the yards 

 of the veteran. And why ? Surely the beginner aims 

 to give his flocks the best of care, sparing neither time 

 nor expense, but, withal that there is something lack- 

 ing there is a reason for it. 



To the veteran, the art of prevention is worth 

 more than the art of cure. He believes in doctoring 

 the slight ailments, but will not tolerate a downright 

 sick bird on the place. 



On the farm of the writer there is a building that 

 contains a number of cages. If it is noticed that a 

 fowl has a cold, it is at once removed to one of these 

 cages and treated to a one-grain quinine pill each 

 night for three nights in succession. Generally, in a 

 week's time the bird is well. If, however, the cold 

 should be a bad one, from a half to a full teaspoonful 

 of whiskey is added to the drinking water. If the 

 face is swelled, it is bathed with hot water and rubbed 

 with vaseline. If after that the bird seems to grow 

 worse, off goes the head. 



If a droopy fowl is found, it is removed to a cage.
